The Daily(ish) Decodable program uses a standard format to work through one sound per day. There are simple instructions for you, the parent or caregiver, and any words in big bold letters are meant for your child to read out loud.
Today we're going to work on words like “find" and “kind.” They look like a simple ”-nd" word like we worked on last week, but they don't follow the normal rule.
You can review all of the prior lessons here.
Rhyme It
Parents, read the following words out loud. Then ask your child which one does NOT rhyme with the others?
found find mind ------------------------------- Say It Have your child point to and say the word "find" three times: find

Read It
Have your child read the passage below out loud:
I Don't Mind If I Do
My buddy Dave and I went out to eat pancakes.
The waiter said to Dave, “Would you like butter on your pancakes?”
Dave said, “I don't mind if I do.”
Then the waiter said to Dave, “And would you like syrup on your pancakes?”
Dave said, “I don't mind if I do” again.
When the waiter left, I said do Dave, “Why did you say that? What does that mean?”
And Dave said, ““I don't mind if I do” is kind of a nice way to say that I would LOVE butter and syrup on my pancakes.”
-------------------------------
Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What did Dave have on his pancakes?
In your own words, what does the phrase "I don't mind if I do" mean? Have you ever heard someone use it?
